Flame Burst (Japanese: はじけるほのお Flame Burst) is a damage-dealing Fire-type move introduced in Generation V.

Effect

Flame Burst deals damage, then inflicts damage to all Pokémon that are both adjacent to and allied with the attack target equal to 1/16 of their respective maximum HP. The adjacent Pokémon will not take damage if the attack target takes no damage (such as due to Flame Burst missing, Flash Fire, or the target being protected).

The secondary damage is typeless, so it will not trigger Abilities like Flash Fire or Color Change. Furthermore, being effect damage, it is prevented by Magic Guard, but it bypasses protection moves and Endure, Wonder Guard, Substitute, Destiny Bond, and Telepathy. This damage cannot miss.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Conquest, the AI is remarkably flawed in its usage of Flame Burst, effectively ignoring the difference between the move's main damage and effect damage.
